It was getting late, Lionel and I were feeling a bit tired since we had a pretty busy day earlier, so we said our goodbyes to everyone. As we headed back to his car after just spending a few hours of dancing and some conversation I realized that Lionel wasn't such a terrible guy, he had a hilarious sense of humor, he dresses and maintains his looks well, a surprisingly good dancer as well also kind and considerate, earlier tonight as my heels were starting to take its toll on my feet with all the dancing we did he offered me his own shoes for me to wear, although he was obviously a lot bigger than me in shoe size just the thought of him willingly to offer his own pair of expensive Italian loafers just so I could feel comfortable made me blush, he was a true gentleman in my eyes and any woman would swoon at all of his actions and yet why couldn't I get my mind off of Kevin? I asked myself quietly sitting in Lionel's car headed back home.

"I had a lot of fun tonight Alexandra," I hear Lionel say beside me as we stop at a red light" your friends are all such a lively bunch" he then says with a chuckle " Lionel you know you can call me Alex or even lexie if you want, Alexandra seems so formal especially since we are engaged," I say back looking at him with a smile and he returns one back to me as well. " well which would you prefer ms? Alex? Or lexie?" he asks as he starts to press on the gas pedal once the light turns green again the force pushes me back into his fancy leather seats as he continues to drive. " well Alex is fine, lexie is a nickname my girlfriends call me, my guy friends call me Alex for short" I responded and see him nod, " well what about fiancee's or boyfriends? what should I call you? you know the cutesy stuff?' I see him smirk and even at his side profile from the passenger seat I can see his dimple present in the shining of the street lights that were bright in the car and I blush. 

"Ah well, I guess the usual names I hear from couples are like babe or Hunny? but I always cringe at them when it's being said especially Babe, Whenever I hear that word I think of a bubbly pig who doesn't want to be eaten" I answered honestly and I hear his deep chuckle erupt in the car. "well I definitely don't want you to be cringing at anything I call you is there a cutesy nickname you always wanted to be called? don't women always have a fantasy of what their lover or husband would call them or maybe romanticized?" he asked curiously with his eyes still on the road. I looked over to him and started to think " Hmm honestly not really I haven't really focused so much on relationships I've been so busy with school and the family business that I haven't really had the time to date or form long-lasting relationships and the ones I did have didn't turn out so well or even really stayed long enough to give me a meaningful cutesy name." I say shyly because it was pretty embarrassing when I thought about it." alright then Alex I will find one for you since we are getting married. I really do feel like we need to be a team, let's get to know each other and respect each other" he says softly as he continues to drive but there was something in his tone that made me feel sad as well even though the words spoken weren't trying to be negative at all he was human and I don't blame him we were practically strangers and just a few weeks ago we were probably just single bachelors focusing on life and career instead of love, Plus marriage is pretty final when you think of all that we could damage if it didn't work out. I thought in my head as I watch each passing streetlight pass us on our drive
